Revolution for Good Quality Magazine

I will introduce an editor-in-chief, Sim-geun Song in "the Hongik Tidings." He was born in Gim-hae where located in Gyung-sang province. Before he entered high school, he moved in Seoul. He served in the army. After being discharged from the army, he entered Department of Law in Hong-ik University. He applied "the Hongik Tidings", English magazine in Hong-ik University in March, 2009. He became a cub reporter with me. He learned many skills for writing articles in the semester and summer vacation. He passed the promotion exam and became a real reporter. He wrote many interesting articles by working hard in the field not by sitting in the chair. He became an editor-in-chief and he is still now. Before he became an editor-in-chief, the magazine had a theme and many reporters found contents which was fitted into the theme. For example, the theme of October number of "the Hongik Tidings" was fortune. Reporters found articles about fortune. It was very interesting way to find materials, but it was hard to find the theme for a magazine. He changed the way to find materials for the magazine. He guaranteed reporter's freedom of selecting materials. He also changed the size of magazine. The magazine was originally A4 size, but it was too large to carry the magazine in bags for women and it was difficult to read. He changed the size smaller than the size it had. Everyone knew there was a need for a paradigm shift, so he started a revolution for "the Hongik Tidings."

Did he dedicate to only reporter's life? If you think the answer is yes, it is your mistake. He has a nice girl friend. He also joined volunteering for foreigners in Korea. He also has a good school records. Actually it is very busy to take part in making magazines but he do everything well and all the people around him praise him. He uses his ability to the full in all the field, and he will continue to do so.
